Why am I skipping ahead on my queue?

No one has actually asked or complained about this but I figured I should clarify before someone does.
You may have noticed, at least my commissioners might have, that commissions up to 3 weeks into my schedule were completed over the last few days while people ahead of them were left there. The simple reason for this is I take my weekends off. And if I feel like working on a weekend I basically give myself leave to pick from where-ever in the queue I like. The basic reason I have a schedule in addition to my queue is so everyone has a guaranteed completion date (provided nothing happens to me). I'm terrible when it comes to working on a queue out of order so to keep everyone's mind at ease I give you all dates instead of a specific working order. If I have free time I work on what I feel like, but I will always (hopefully) get the right things done by the right time.
Also if I am getting ahead of myself, like I have been lately, it's more beneficial to my work that I leave some commissions that are coming up that week just so I'm not tempted to take the week off. If I had have finished everything on my schedule this week there would have been nothing stopping me from sitting back and waiting til I had to do more. I know it sounds stupid and like I have no self control... and that's probably true, but at least this way the entire queue as a whole gets done all the sooner.
This is all especially true with CFG commissions because frankly I got a hoard of emails at once and the order you're in was simply down to luck. You're frankly all on the same level as far as I'm concerned.
I hope this clarifies things and puts some people at ease. I can't please everyone but I do have to keep myself motivated and happy otherwise I can't work. I hope you understand.
Again no one actually asked... I just... like to... explain things.
Also ALL the head shots are sketched *rolls*
Being able to work on something because YOU want to/working on something for yourself means you aren't burning yourself out just working on commissions.
Plus benefit being people get better work from you
So all round win IMO
